Notes

2010-04-18 - Identified through online information from Jeremy Zuck. -- Rebuilt by M. P. Möller Co., 1958 Rebuilt by R. J. Brunner & Co., 1995 Console and additions by R. J. Brunner & Co., 2010 -Database Manager

2023-08-28 - The announcement in THE DIAPASON May 1914 shows a smaller organ than reflected by the information that Mr. Zuck supplied - 32 ranks instead of 49. It could be that plans changed after the announcement and it was decided to enlarge the final specifications to 49 ranks. The 32-rank announced stoplist is posted for its information value, with a copy of the announcement posted under Documents. -Jeff Scofield
